Juniors
Junior surf lifesaving is all about learning to be safe in the beach environment. Children are taught the skills they need to ensure their time at the beach is both safe and enjoyable. Through a staged program children learn skills appropriate to their age with the ultimate aim of them going on to become the lifesavers of the future.
As many of the activities conducted as part of the junior program are water based, Surf Lifesaving Australia has developed a Junior Preliminary Skills Evaluation for each age group which must be completed prior to children participating in any junior water activity training. While we would not preclude a child from becoming a member and participating in junior activities if they could not competently complete the evaluation we would recommend that they seek some formalised swimming training.
So how much does Junior Surf Lifesaving cost?

Child protection is of the utmost importance to us so we request that our Junior parent members have a Tasmania Police Check. Only the free Tasmania Police Record check is required. In Section 3 tick Education Staff and then in the blank box below write " SLST working with children". A current Education Dept Good Character Check will also be accepted. Please forward a copy to one of our Junior Registrars.
